OFFSEASON WEEK 1 proudly supported and sauced by
@Raptor Labs @Raptor Rep — best team out.
Reflections on Nationals
After nationals, we made the call to pull out of this season. The show highlighted just how big the super heavyweights truly are. Even without the backstage tan mishap (which left me unable to pump up, with minimal carbs, fluid, and sodium), I still would’ve been outsized through the upper body. Those boys were absolutely massive, and it really put into perspective the work that needs to be done.
That said, I’m grateful for the experience. It lit a fire under me like nothing else — I’ve never been more motivated or disciplined. Every aspect of this next chapter will be treated with the same intent and precision as a prep.
New Coaching Direction
I’ve now asked
@Poprox on board to steer the ship with my nutrition. He takes over from my previous coach, who has shifted his focus to other businesses. I owe everything to that man — the bodybuilder, coach, and person I am today wouldn’t exist without his guidance, support, and belief in me. Eternally grateful for all he’s poured into me, but also incredibly excited about the fresh perspective Poprox brings to the table.
Plan Moving Forward
We’ve set our sights on Season A 2027:
- 12 months of hard growth to become a true competitive super heavy
- 6 months of pre-prep and prep
- A vastly denser, more complete upper body coming to the stage
The goal is to make undeniable progress. Every day counts.
Expectations for the Growth Phase
The aim this offseason is to stay far leaner — no more than +15–20kg from stage weight. This will help maintain insulin sensitivity and control aromatase activity, ensuring we can push food and recovery without blunting performance or conditioning.
Food will be increased exclusively to fuel and increase training performance and recovery, not to chase scale weight. The focus is on breaking training plateaus and building a lot of tissue in all the right areas — particularly the upper body — to stand next to those super heavies in 2027 with a complete, undeniably improved package.

Closing Thoughts
The body’s already chewing through food, really filling back out glycogen stores, health metrics are improving bar a little increase in BP from the rapid weight gain which will improve when cardio rolls back in, and I can just feel the fatigue is falling away. This is just the beginning of the road to becoming a true super heavy and I could not be more excited.
